Review: I feel for the intended purpose of this map, which appears to be showing volcanoes in Ecuador, there are a few minor concerns. First off It is hard to get a geographical understanding of where the Tungurahua Volcano actually is located. The Icon, which is not even on the legend, is very large and you can't quite tell where it is, it occupies most of the region that it is located in. I would make it smaller. I would also add a title and some subtext to the top of the map. There is not much going on at the top of the map so it would also add some balance to the map. If this map is trying to emphasize this one particular volcano then I feel there could perhaps be a zoomed in section where the reader can get a better feel for where the volcano is. I do like the font choice of the volcano becuase it draws attention to the eye.
